Dave, Congratulations on a job well done. You have pretty much cured me of my desire to get a set of glider wings for my Monowheel. That was a lot of work! Kevin No issues and no significant changes.

I put mine in the stbd wing root area. Below the fuel elbow. So it's never exposed to the sun, outside the cockpit, opposite the exhaust. Oh, and not exactly sticking out in the breeze creating drag.
